This breathtaking Catholic cathedral is known for its 100 years of construction . After being postponed many times, it was consecrated in 1993. Amazing neo-gothic with modern design await inside.

Roger Schonfeld

The modern stained glass is not to be missed - almost cubist throughout many of the chapels.

David

The most beautiful cathedral I have seen so far after the Sagrada Familia in Barcelone. A perfect mixture of modernism and tradition.

Almudena, a word is originally from Arabic Language .. Almadina, means “the city ” in Arabic .. HISTORY !!

Noah Weiss

Don't let the bland exterior turn you away. The inside is filled with modern stained glass that's bright and neon, and the ceiling's tile work is beautiful.

Jordan Taylor

Gorgeous cathedral located right next to the Palacio Real . Also, free!

Roger Schonfeld

Fascinating architecture including modern imagery by the altar and choir .

No soul no history not impressed

Fabio Moraes

Os vitrais modernos desta catedral relativamente nova se integram perfeitamente a sua arquitetura bem misturada entre neogótica e neoclássica. Nas escadarias externas, sempre há jovens artistas .

Tomàs Garcia

Por 7€ la entrada tanto para la catedral como el museo . Muy interesante el museo acaba el recorrido en lo alto con vistas de Madrid. Catedral impresionante . No irse de la Catedral sin ver la cripta .

Uliana Mavrina

Были в воскресенье 11 января. Совершенно случайно и совершенно свободно попали на мессу с участием королевской семьи ! Собор красивый. Определенно достоин посещения!

Sergey Sautin

Если бы увидел до Саграды в Барсе - было бы ах! А на фоне Саграды, увы, просто среднестатистически "хорошо", т.к. в Барселоне уже есть то, что "фантастически", "бесподобно", "лучше всего,что я видел".

Catalina

De las Catedrales mas bonitas en las que haya estado por fuera y por dentro. En navidad ponen un nacimiento (belén) super lindo , vale la pena verlo.

Dabliu

Nonostante l'architettura , la cattedrale é stata decorata e consacrata negli anni '90. Non vi entusiasmerá se venite dall'Italia. Il Museo e la cupola offrono begli scorci su città e palazzo Reale.

Pierre Bsss

Magnifique cathédrale assez récente (XXe) elle fut consacrée par Jean Paul II.

Amanda Salveti

Vale a visita. A pintura no teto é linda e os vitrais com desenhos diferentes dos usuais das igrejas ! Amei

Alex Bogdanov

Прямо у входа кучка "карманников" (мама и пару дочек) пыталась "отжать" сумку с деньгами/документами. Охрана собора подоспела вовремя. Их вытолкали за территорию, для нас - лекция о методах их работы.

Gisele Neves

O altar é impressionante e você pode chegar bem perto!

Priscilla Bulnes

La catedral es simplemente maravillosa. Justo frente al Palacio Real. Impresionante !

Elena Rodriguez
